The important thing is that they are *scripts*, which means you can read
them, figure out what they are doing, and either modify them to suit
your RHEL rebuild, or modify /etc/redhat-release to contain what they
are looking for. I never saw one that looked at the redhat-release rpm.
The only thing I couldn't get to install on Fedora or CentOS was the EMC
PowerPath software. There were unique kernel modules for every RHEL
kernel version, and for some reason they refused to install. Since they
were closed-source, I couldn't figure out why.
But now we've veered off-topic, which I really hate...
